Tom and I saw Wonder Woman
We sure did
Because we have adult jobs
Yeah, man
"In the name of all that is good, your wrath upon this world...."
"Is over."
It's really good!
Yeah!
DC did it!
Yeah, easily- easily the best DC movie. I'll say since probably since The Dark Knight
Umm
Yeah, are we counting those? Is that still DC EU?
I guess. I mean, they're all DC characters
But the DC EU movies? Definitely the best of those
Clearly better than Man of Steel or Superman Versus Batman
but it's so good that it makes the other two movies better by association
And also worse when you think about them
It was fun to watch which is a new thing that DC is doing
-New territory for DC. It had, um, it started off with a new...
Like, you know
how Marvel does like their intro like where they show Marvel Entertainment and it shows like comic panels like everything
Yeah
They did a new one this time. It looked more like a Marvel intro sequence and then they get into the movie and it still has
like... It was like a good mix of DC's kind of like moodiness and Marvel's more colorful fun-ness
Yeah. They did the Marvel thing in the beginning where it's very bright and colorful. And then they did the
DC thing towards Act 2 and
Right
*Indistinct*
Like the Dark Knight in Germany.
It starts off in Themyscira, which is like this gorgeous a mythical island
I want to go there!
They get to London, and they make a joke about it
which I think is in the trailer like
Yeah
They sail into London and she's like: "It's hideous!"
Yes!
But it's all like grey and sh***y, and it's the washed out monochromatic like blue-gray
gunmetal look that we've sort of come to expect from like, realistic movies and superhero movies
There's a lot of similarities with the first Captain America movie obviously because it's a period piece, you got superhero fighting in one of the great wars
And they have a couple of same beats like in Capitan America
He's got like the Howling Commandos that all look ridiculous like um... What's his name's wearing that hilarious bowler hat. [And] you're like: "Okay."
And in this movie they sort of had the same sort of merry band of miscreants that follow
Wonder Woman and Chris Pine into battle
They at no point
trust wonder woman, like her little merry band, at no point. Or at least Chris Pine is always like: "You have to stay back."
Oh, yeah!
It takes him like six times after she like explodes a building with her power
Yeah!
And he's still likewell like team strength was not for you and like though. It's all for her. She can do this
She's she's a god you get that's right
It takes him an embarrassingly long time
To figure out right she's being yeah superhuman her arc is like discovering that the world is not just
straight-up good to certain people and then
There's not like a great influencer that makes people [do] bad things right
What war is just bad?
But their kinda like- like that's where this movie gets a little
*Unintelligible"
And falls apart a little bit like it's still it doesn't break the movie for you, but she
no...
fights
Ares is the main villian
Right- Yeah
And like, the idea of war- and the whole thing is why she kills Ares.
Uh
Men will revert to good
They're totally good now
And there's no more war and everything's happy
-All the German soldiers around them are like- like they snap out of like a fugue state
And they start hugging each other is like well, that's clearly not
Right
Another delightful part of movie.
What's that
And Uhhh
I- I Hope it doesn't get messy.
Baby Wonder Woman
Oh yeah.
Oh, god- what a cutie
Just-Just-Just
Maybe one leering hungrily at every instance of violence.
She's like-
I can't f*cking wait to punch someone
I know, she's a little bit of a psychopath-
*unintelligible*
-if we think too much about it.
She really is just waiting for war to happen and like really wants to kill someone
She's just watching all these warriors fight and doing her little cute
Superhero moves
No one stops her and no one thinks it's weird that this little kid just wants a f*cking war to happen- like she just wants to
f*ck it up like she doesn't have a pet she'd kill it there was an idea in my head like oh
There's a baby on this island
But all the women seem to be of the same age so what age do you stop?
Growing-
You stop aging?
Do you just grow up and when you reach like-
Your best looking at 50 that's when you stop?
You're like: I'm at my peak. But does this island of like?
15 year old women
Just have to deal with an 8 year old running around all the time because I also have to go see that movie.
oh, but she stops aging at age 8
*Unintelligible*
There's just a- child running around this island.
Or if she stops-
All the time forever-
stops aging- forever.
yeah
Like in 18 months: "Now you have forever baby"
So about you...
I'm terrible at catching twists.
Oh yeah
It's- It's one of the things
I'm worst at in addition to size my car in parking garages and spotting twists in movies.
They're related actually.
Where's my car?
Yeah
The rest of us know
And no-one else does- that makes a lot of sense.
Professor Lupin- Being uhh, the main villain. After we're following this- uhh
they make you think it's Danny Huston the whole time. He's an evil German- ah
Piece of mustache twirling German villain without a mustache. He's just danny Huston
yeah, he is very clearly the villain
Right, he's scowling and jowly and he keeps snorting this dust that makes him super strong
Yeah, it's very very Red Skull-y. Death in this movie matters.
Yeah, which is WEIRD TERRITORY for
Superhero movies
cause so many people die and then come back to life, but right it really feels-
Sometimes immediately- like Group died and its three seconds later. He's back to life. Durable twig
This movie should be the baseline- like what the
for the rest of the DC universe
cause she's like- yeah- she's the Captain America of
DC and that she's the first
Right
member of the Justice league, so if they can jump off build off the back of this instead of
Batman Vs. Superman their regular bail over [service]
*Unintelligible*
Yes, this should be their iron man. Like this should be the [inaudible] because Iron Man determined
What the tone of all the rest of the Marvel movies. This should be their template for the rest of the Marvel movies.
Maybe they should just have f*cking Patty Jenkins make all of them.
"Anything else you want to show me?"
So good job Wonder Woman and good job Patty Jenkins.
Yeah
Hopefully we can see more of these.
I hope so. I hope she makes um More of these and more of other movies
